A woman was arrested on Saturday after she solicited prostitution to a Houma Police Department Detective, police said.

The detective, who was in an unmarked car but wearing a department shirt and his proper duty attire, pulled over after a woman flagged him down at the intersection of Canal and Academy streets in Houma, according to the department.

The woman, 35-year-old Christina Walcott, immediately jumped in the car when the detective pulled over, the department said.

When inside the vehicle, police said, she offered the detective sexual favors for a fee. The detective then brought the woman to a group of uniformed police officers who were dispersing a crowd. Police said it was when the detective spoke to officers that she realized she had propositioned a police officer.

Walcott was taken to the Houma Police Department and issued a summons on a charge of solicitation of prostitution.
